Reborn To Love You

duty and loyalty

The attack on the coronation day ended with bloodshed, the next few weeks it was the talk of the town, first prince was severely wounded, he was cut thrice missing his artery veins somehow.

Great pressure fell on boom he was just crowned king and the first of all things and other important matters he needs to find out who tried to murder him.

On the other hand aou was waiting for a note, something anything, there was no sign of the anonymous note guy or the attackers.

Days turned to weeks and weeks to months and months to a year, for some reason it was slient, it even made aou wonder if it was dream, the attack, the notes all of it disappeared from the faces of the earth also the whispers in the town died not long ago, stories and rumors flew around the town, aou wanted to smack those people for the gossip.
...

Sitting in his office, he read that note again which arrived at phuwins place for the hundredth time.

"No matter how many times you're going to read that note it is not going to change words unless there's a hidden message ai aou..... damn it will you ever stop reading that note ??" Phuwin spoke as he sank even more deeper in one of the red velvety cushioned chairs, it was soft making him want to sleep.

At the brink of drifting into a peaceful rehabilitation phuwin had to forcefully open his eyes to the man standing.

"What did you say ??" That thin piece of paper was held tight in his grip

The expression on aous face made the other jolt up and sit straight "What did I say ?? ahh I said ... I said 'will you ever stop reading that note"

"No not that before that you said something about- "

"Hidden message"

A hidden message in the notes, common technique to fool the readers eye, phuwin and aou exchanged glances, their next move was clear and certain, however there was a small obstacle in it.

Even if the technique was common but the method to hide the message, it varied from person to person, one has to be an expert in it to be able to figure out if it is an invisible ink or is it paper to paper.

An hour later

"Are you both sure that we have hidden message in this thin paper, I dont remember the feeling of another layer when I touched that note phi ??" Santa thoughts ringed back to that day, he was sure that there was no second layer or something to it, worried, but still he didn't put much thought to it.

"Yes hundred percent sure"

"Really!?"

"Really"

"So this is why you asked me to get these ??" holding up a bag of lemons and salt santa asked with a tint of confusion in his voice, he continued "Don't we have salt and lemons in the royal pantry phi"

"Yes, we do, but unwanted attention and questions will rise and plus I'm not in the mood to go through that all"

"Mmm .... understanble P'aou" as santa agreed phuwin lit a candle on aous desk

"N'santa help me a bit ??"

"Yes phi what do you want me to do ??"

"Cut it into half" aou handed him a lemon and a small knife, santa took the knife in his hand and the lemon with the baffled look on his face, which didn't go unnoticed by the olders.

Concern plastered on phuwins face he nudged aou and whispered with a pretty audible voice "ai aou you sure he knows how to cut it ??"

"I don't know, wait ... santa you need to just cut it in half" aou reminded santa again with a hand motion
